Buongiorno! Salve!

On the 25th of July, the Year 10 and Year 11 Italian classes went to the National Gallery of Victoria to learn about Renaissance and Mediaeval Art.  We had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in art between the 14th and 16th centuries. Afterwards, we went to +39 Pizzeria which is an Italian restaurant in the CBD. We each had delicious, traditional food from the menu. A class favourite was the tiramisu for dessert!

Ciao, arrivederci

Going on this excursion was engaging and interesting. Having the expert knowledge of the tour guides made the experience at the art gallery very valuable and fascinating. We enjoyed exploring the city and the Art Gallery with our friends. Exploring the culture of Italy through food and Art motivated us for our Language learning by practising Italian with the staff.

CIS Junior Italian Poetry Competition 2022

Students this year have been fortunate enough to be able to participate in the Centre of Italian Studies (CIS) Junior Italian Poetry Competition. This occured on  21 June at school. Two judges came to Killester to listen to the students in Years 7 & 8 recite their chosen poem in Italian with a focus on pronunciation, intonation & memorisation of their selected Italian poem. Students chose from the following poems for Year 7: “Tre stelline” di Anonimo, “Le vocali” di Lina Schwarz  and “ Poesia delle vocali” di Elio Guarnuccio. Students chose from the following poems for Year 8: “In classe” di Corinne Albaut, “Acqua Acqua” di Roberto Piumini and “ La zanzara” di Roberto Piumini.

I am proud to announce the winners of this latest competition.
